To help support Leonard and his 2 young children at this tragic time.
Southland
Tragically on Friday 7th December, Leonard and his family who were in their family car were hit at an intersection by a vehicle that allegedly at speed did not give way. This tragic event has resulted in the passing of his beautiful wife Emma, and Leonard being flown in a critical condition to a hospital approximately 7 hours drive from his home city of Invercargill and 2 young children.
Leonard's Mum and my Dad have been at his bedside from out of town, and need to continue to do so for as long as possible. We want to ensure they can be there for as long as is needed, not to have it be for as long as funds allow, if possible.
We also want to help Emma's family who through their own immense grief are taking wonderful care of Leonard and Emma's 2 young children, who also both have injuries from the accident. The road ahead is unknown and we want to help with whatever they need to support the children as the days and weeks go on.
All funds in excess to this initial care and support will go directly to Leonard and the children for whatever they may need.
Leonard is my step brother who is still critically ill in hospital, we want to do all we can to help and support him and his young children through this tragic time and their journey to follow.
The funds will be used for the immediate support of Leonard in hospital which is away from his home city, family and friends and to also help support his 2 young children.
Update Jan 26th 26 January 2019
A huge thank you to everyone for all your support and continued support for Leonard and the kids. Leonard is extremely grateful for all the kind wishes, donations and support from you all, as are our families also.
It has now been 7 weeks since this happened and Leonard is still recovering in hospital, but doing incredibly well in his recovery with the goal of getting home very soon. The children are doing well, being so well cared for by Emma’s family and they visit Leonard every day.
Thank you again for the amazing support you have all given through this givealittle page. This will go a long way to helping Leonard and the children for whatever they may need on this journey ahead and his continued recovery at home.
With much appreciation, Natalie x
